The Winter King (Young Adult Christian Fantasy Novel)

By Christine Cohen

Step into a frozen world of danger, courage, and costly choices in this gripping young adult fantasy.

The Winter King is a suspenseful Christian YA novel set in a village trapped under endless winter and ruled by a harsh and unyielding king. When Cora’s father disappears, whispers of a family curse begin to rise—and as the cold tightens its grip, Cora is determined to do whatever it takes to protect her family.

But as she bends the rules to survive, Cora uncovers a secret far greater than she imagined—one that could put everything, and everyone she loves, at risk.

Wintry, tense, and beautifully written, this award-finalist novel draws readers into a richly imagined world while exploring themes of courage, sacrifice, and personal responsibility.

Why We Love It

A compelling and fast-paced read that blends adventure with deeper themes. It’s the kind of story that pulls you in while quietly exploring questions of character, choices, and what it means to stand firm.

Why This Stands Out

We love the strong, courageous heroine and the immersive world-building. It feels like a classic fantasy adventure, while still being a wholesome and thoughtful read for teens.

Who It’s For

• Teens and young adults
• Readers who enjoy fantasy and adventure stories
• Families looking for faith-friendly fiction
• Fans of strong female leads and high-stakes storytelling

A beautifully written young adult fantasy that keeps you turning pages while pointing to deeper truths about courage, family, and sacrifice.
